damn google just launched the biggest AI product in history - 2 billion users, an intelligence layer on top of google maps. this kills yelp and tripadvisor: - "Ask Maps" is a conversational AI built on 300M places and reviews from 500M people, ask it: "is there a public tennis court with lights on that I can play at tonight?" and you get an actual answer yelp is cooked (why open a separate app for reviews)??? but heres the coolest part - maps becomes a local intelligence layer eg: "what's parking like near the venue?" or "is this neighborhood safe to walk at night?" - this shit changes the way you travel and DO activites. google ads are gonna go craaaazyyy - the moment Ask Maps gets monetized you won't know if it's recommending the best coffee shop or the one that paid 2B fucking users, thats more than chatgpt and gemini ai COMBINED. gg
